knowing your true saturation rate of mites is much better than just treating. Doing the alcohol washes give you a better insight on if and when you need to treat. If you have an extremely low mite...
Have you done any counts via alcohol wash? that will give you your best actual ratio.
the 5-7 days is a bit on the outside edge for timing, we used this method too in the beginning of our use of ox...

None of them ever really catch...
